CHARLES STRIGKRODT, OF YORK, N. Y.

FAN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 252,706, dated January24, 1862.

Application filed December 10, 1880. (N model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES STRIOKRODT, of the city, county, and Stateof New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fans,of which the following is a speci-' web by beingswung back to back orface to face.

Thevinvention relates more especially to improvements in the pivotedconnection of the handles with the center disks of the web, so that theuse of transverse pivot-pins which pass from one disk to the otherthrough the fabric of the web may be done away with, and a simpler andcheaper pivot-connection of the fan-handles be obtained.

The invention consists of the combination of the web with two handleswhich are pivoted to center disks by means of end caps or mountings thatare provided with inwardly-bent lugs having turnedup prongs, said prongsbeing sprung through holes of the disks equidistantly from the center ofthe same.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a side view of myimproved fan, shown in closed position. Fig. 2 is a detail top view ofthe same, and Fig. 3 is a detail view of the blank from which the endcap or mounting of the handles is made.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

In the drawings, A represents the web, and

B B the handles, of my improved fan. The

end folds of the web A are attached in the usual manner to the inside ofthe handles B, the handles being applied at their upper ends tocenterdisks, 0, which cover the connection of the handle ends with the web.The handles B are pivoted to the center disks, (3, by means of end capsor mountings, D, which are arranged with lower fastening-lugs, a, andwith upper connecting-lugs, b. The lower side lugs, a, as well as an endlug, (I, serve for attaching the cap or mounting D to the end of thebandle, while the upperlugs,-b, are bent inwardly at right angles t themain portion of the cap,

with the disks by means of one or more prongs, I). These prongs arestamped up from the body of the upper sidelugs, a, sprung through holeswhich are equidistantly from the center of the disks (3, and then bentover on the outside of the same, so as to form a simple and reliablepivot-connection therewith. By thus and serve to establish the pivotalconnection connecting the handles with the disks not Having thusdescribed my inventiou, I claim as new and desire to secure by LettersPatent- 1. The combination, with the web A and handles B B of a fan, thelatter being provided with end caps or mountings, D, havinginwardly-bent and pronged lugs, of center disks, 0, having holesequidistantly from the center, through which the prong or prongs aresprung, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. An end cap or mounting for fans, having lower fastening side lugs, aat, upper side lugs, b b, with one or more'bent-up prongs, and an endlug, (I, substantially as shown and described. I

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as.

my invention 1 have signed my name, in presence of two witnesses, this26th day of November, 1880.
